Blogger Review
    Think about the growth of the road, about success, inspirational books, more or less also read some. Once there was a book, motivate yourself for a long time, is the United States of America writer Roman · W · peel with "attitude is everything". I learned how to establish a correct attitude toward life from, how strong and optimistic in the face of fate. At that time, the deepest impression of the word is "not a second before you". Yes, people would change every day, therefore, how to grasp the change, it is a very important knowledge. However, only is the attitude of the establishment, is not enough; we need to practice law, unfortunately, the book does not tell me.
    Exposure to the "fifth disciplines", I can not help but exclaim to the author's wisdom and rigorous way of thinking. Compared to other popular self-help books, this book attracted me the most part, especially in the ninth chapter: beyond the self - >. Beginning with the analysis of learning organization, to discuss the real "self-transcendence", not only new angle, and, importantly, personal self-improvement put analysis on organization management, to each of us, has the practical significance of great. We are the heart of every person have the beautiful dream and hope, and the potential for self-confidence and self ability; however, due to learning, work and life experience is different, these beautiful inner, gradually annihilation to have to face the daily routines and real seems irresistible, not about the.
   When the people therefore plunged into depression and loss of mood, many people will choose to use emotional response measures to deal with, such as through the establishment of strong, progressive attitude towards life and encourage yourself etc.. Undeniable, this approach is correct; however, this only, but not necessarily effective, as mentioned in the article, "self-transcendence meaning lies in creating, rather than react point of view, to face their own lives and life." Because, we also need to take more action, behavior choice of direction more practical, in order to solve the problem.
   We want to exploit those beautiful within our nature, we need to constantly self-transcendence. Therefore, "the fifth discipline", the "self" as a life practice, a continuous learning process, can be said to be the truest. Through reading < ninth chapter: beyond the self - >, I realized, practicing and learning, as a process, need to be attached to a detailed and systematic planning, and then rely on perseverance continuously to the selection of a good direction.

     "Robert rules" -- the Bible says meeting meeting, are not unfamiliar, every Chinese people from small to large, do not know how to participate in the meeting. But the real value of the conference, estimate the scanty, most are crustily skin of head to the podium that speak in excitement emotion or hum about, and then standing by a show of hands.
    That "meetings" has become the government's efforts to change a bad policy division. "Robert rules" is the author of the United States Army General Henry Robert (1837-1923), first published in February 19, 1876.
    After Robert's death, his descendants and had participated in the preparation of people continue to revise the rules of procedure, technological advances make it suitable for changing. A fifth edition in 1970 1943, the seventh edition.
    The new Ninth Edition, published in 1990. This book is written is legendary, during the American Civil War, the North's Betty Ford, a young lieutenant Henry Martin Robert was ordered to convene a political meeting, due to big differences, after a long fight, the meeting ended, not only failed to reach a goal, but also get the participants confront each other with daggers, atmosphere is worse than a meeting before.
    This makes the 25 meeting of lieutenant Robert deeply stimulation, vowed to write a good meeting how to book. He did, which is that a thin this but covers basic human meeting to discuss the essence of the classic. Usually think, "Robert rules" has four principles. That is (1) balance principle, namely the protection of the rights and protection of views of most views occupy minority rights, did not even attend the meeting people's rights are protected, and ultimately to protect all the composition of these people the rights of the whole; (2) to restrict the collective leader, in part to hand over their rights leader at the same time, we must remain a part of rights, ensure that they can directly control the collective itself in all affairs without being controlled by the leaders; (3) the principle of majority; (4) the principle of debate, everyone has the right to persuade others to accept the debate will of his own, until this will become the general will.
    The "Robert rule" far-reaching, various occasions meeting, as the meeting of the presidium or sponsor, will advance in accordance with the "Robert rule" on the spirit of the conference planning. So as to ensure that the conference can effectively, orderly, fair held. Modern enterprise, changing the form of the meeting, is no longer must sit square in the conference room, according to different level one at a time. The famous manager Yu Shiwei said in his speech, their business conference held frequently in the beach, all wearing Beachwear, relaxed meeting, the effect is very good.
   GOOGLE companies are usually in the restaurant workers held a small meeting. The above examples, all sorts of strange things modern conference form, but the spirit of the principle of the meeting, the rules of the game that still a few.
This is the crystallization of human wisdom sum up down. With Robert own words: left rules, everyone is free to act, the result is that everyone is not true freedom.
-- Henry Robert
In a masters of the people in the country, there is little knowledge such as rules, just a little learning can significantly improve the efficiency of such.

Book Description
    20 years ago, writing a series of marketing and advertising the new thinking of the United States of America "the Advertising Age" magazine invited young marketing expert Rees and Trout, the total title is "positioning of the times". After a series of articles published, caused the whole industry sensation, positioning the marketing world lively topic that everyone is talking about, the hand out of the article reached 120000, thus creating the marketing theory of comprehensive innovation era.
   Over the past 20 years, positioning thought already win support among the people. To commemorate this great innovation, the original publisher 20 anniversary edition, the Chinese version of "localization" is translated from the new version.

Blogger Review
     The difference between 1, A theory and J theory. J is JAPAN the Japanese model, the theory of A cherish a deep-seated hatred for Rees, so many negative cases are Japanese enterprises, A is AMERICA the United States of America mode. The core of theory A is "more narrow the better", on behalf of the case is Dell, Intel, microsoft.
     The core of theory J is "more width is better", the representative case is fujitsu. 2, the positioning is not starting from their own advantages, but starting from the customer's mind. The first luxury brand of coffee chain Starbucks, the first luxury water is Evian, first expensive car brand mercedes-benz. A particular example is the United States of America, a selection of ten safety car, Volvo's no go, but never mind, it takes the customer's mind. More money in 3, the company has expertise. For example, professional athletes to be higher than 5%-50% ten Decathletes achievement. In order to search engine for example, search the location is a minimum value of $150000000000, ALTAVISTA is the first to do a search, but it became diversified try, I can't find it. GOTO.com also disappeared. 4, when a targeted depreciation, you can close to another location. For example, in the United States, the pork was the same as beef, is taking the animal location, however, continued to fall with beef, chicken continued to rise, a lot of pork and chicken chose to stay the same strategy, gain vitality. 5, localization is an expression from mental, you must think of ways to capture the mind. Have a look the United States business school ranking, the first is the Northwestern University, its positioning is: the market; second is the University of Chicago, its positioning is: quantitative analysis; the third is Walton, its location is: finance; fourth is Standford -- positioning is: technology; fifth is a Harvard - Location management. Although they are all comprehensive university, but their target is clear, in fact, these schools early or selling the idea to the students. 6, how to find the word for your location? Rees's advice is to focus. Early cigarette is men and women can be pumped, so many cigarette advertising is a male and a female. Later, the first prominent location: Marlboro cigarette advertising picture is male, cowboy. CURVRS focus on female fitness, has now become the United States of America's largest fitness club. Positioning and focusing of Wong Lo Kat is a goal. 7, why can Obama success in the election? First is the positioning of the success, Obama's position is "change" (change). Then have a look some management guru, Rahm. Charan positioning is implemented, Drucker is equal to the management, Potter is competitive, Freedman is flat. The man = Clooney, beauty = Roberts, terminator = = Gore Schwarzenegger, global warming. 8, you need to develop a strategy, you need to spread this strategy. Paris spent a lot of money selling a "romantic", Rome market positioning is the "eternal", located South Korea selling is "shine" (actually South Korea does not shine, but it occupies this position). 9, a good location, is very important to give up. For example, airlines do not give up, only the United States southwest airlines had to give up, it only do business, economy class, domestic routes, abandoned freight, first-class cabin, foreign routes, it even with a model 737.
    So, those rivals such as Northwest Airlines, American airlines have disappeared. 10, China Company are a lot of false location, they are not good at focusing. Changhong has the largest TV makers, refrigerator, air conditioner, and later diversified to IT products. Chunlan was the largest air-conditioning manufacturers, and later was transferred to the motorcycle, heavy truck, TCL is what all do, Yunnan Baiyao expand to make toothpaste, which are not conducive to the targeted building. 11, for not the brand leader, a good positioning strategy is to do the opposite of. BMW is the antithesis of mercedes-benz. Mouthwash slobber is bad taste, like a drug, SCOPE choose to do the opposite, it said that he is a pleasant mouthwash slobber. TARGET is the opposite of WAL-MART, its location is cheap fashion. Pepsi is the opposite of Coca Cola. Baez Va Va is the opposite of Bobbi doll. Baidu is the opposite of GOOGLE. 12, how to resolve the contradiction focus and diversification brand positioning? Rees's advice is: develop a second brand law. Toyota launched the high-end brand, created second brand -- lexus. Lee Vivtorinox introduced for leisure clothing brand, created second brands -- DOCKERS (ha ha, I like brand), the present value has reached $1000000000. IT launched a cool fashion brand FCUK (ha ha, this is the brand I like). P & G has 21 second brands, each brand has a focusing effect. Global paradox of 13, location: bigger is to become a professional company, narrowing the focus range. Especially for the global Chinese brand, there are international in the name of good, corona, Qingdao. Chery CHERY, Lenovo's LENOVO is not good

Blogger Review
   To guide a company what philosophy marketing? How to straighten out the organization, customer and social interests of the three relationship? There are a variety of competition in society, various organizations are in one concept in marketing activities, including its concepts: production concept, product concept, marketing concept, marketing concept and marketing concept.
   Production concept, this concept is one of the oldest ideas to guide the behavior of sellers. Think consumers which are widely available, inexpensive products. Management attention to obtain high production efficiency and wide distribution coverage. Comments: this concept has significance in China's developing countries, through cheap labor market. Lenovo, haier!
   The product concept consumers need high quality, versatile and has some features of the product. Committed to the production of quality products, and constantly changing new product, make it more perfect. This idea, pay attention to cater to the market. Need the product, price, distribution, advertising and other complex. The selling concept: let it have its swing it, consumers and businesses will not be enough to buy an organization's products. We must take the initiative to promote and actively promote. Consumers often buy inert or psychological resistance, so the need to persuade. Company should use effective marketing and promotional tools to stimulate consumers to purchase a large number of products.
   The selling concept embodied in the definition of marketing president of Coca cola. Is to sell more goods to more people to get more income, thereby winning interest. The selling concept applied to unsought goods. Consumers generally don't think to buy commercial insurance, such as encyclopedia, cemetery. Attention, strengthen marketing with marketing risk height. Marketing management.
   The key to the quality of the products get! The marketing concept was to "manufacturing and sales of philosophy", now take the customer as the center, "with the response" feeling of philosophy! The production of consumers to products. Think the key in the wants and needs of the target market to determine the correct, and more effective than competitors to create, transfer, communication to the target market superior customer value. This idea, divided into interactive marketing company and active marketing company.
   This idea is: limited organized resistance, slow learning and quickly forgotten. This paper is too good, before looking at the school marketing textbooks. Write the main content is almost, but not this incisive.
   The sentence is the gold!

Book Description
     This book has become the world's best-selling book. Perhaps the feeling of reading each individual is different, but do not say that the reason I understand, if that means you are still afraid to change yourself.
     This book consists of three parts.
     The first part, "Reunion" -- about at a party with a group of the past classmate discuss how to deal with all the changes in life.
     The second part is the core of the book -- "who moved my cheese" story. Who Moved My Cheese? The third part, "discussion" about the classmate friends around the story of the book. There are  "figures" -- two little mice sniff, scurry and two dwarves book, haw.
  In the story, you'll find out, facing the change, two mice do better than two little-beings, because they keep things simple; and the two dwarfs have complex brains and human emotions, complicate things. This is not to say that the rats are more intelligent than people, we all know people are more intelligent. But change an angle to think, humans are too complex and emotional intelligence and sometimes it is not an obstacle on the road ahead?
     When you watch the four roles in the story of the behavior, you'll find out, in fact, the mouse and the dwarf represent different aspects of our own -- simple side and complex side. When things change, perhaps the simple act   will bring us a lot of convenience and benefits.

Blogger Review
  Chinese ancient classical Chinese: it will pass, general tatsu. The form of dialogue on this book and listen to the story in a short story, the six word is a deeper, more detailed, more in line with modern survival analysis. I don't think this is a simple management books, which runs through the whole book point of view, more suited to enrich and perfect the personal practice. When you do the time to work, such as the arts, this is your normal. One day you engaged in outward affairs, such as sales, you will have to adjust their own state to meet him face. After the adjustment of the state, not the "abnormal", on the contrary, if the processing way inward-looking to work now, is not desirable. This is not a pessimistic compromise, if it is, one day from export-oriented work back to the original closed self creation form, not a fall. It is worth chewing life, a little too much. Like the book says: the story of the "cheese" is a metaphor for what we want to have in real life, it is a job, a relationship, it is money, a house, can also be free, health, social recognition and the boss. Perhaps it is only a spiritual peace, or even just a sport, the equestrian, golf etc.. As long as life continues, there are new things in front of us continue to pursue, the beautiful scenery is worth our record and reflection.
Time to find new cheese, is an important way to get rid of and prevention of troubled. They have a keen sense of smell, can always find the correct direction; in a hurry always have inexhaustible energy and never-say-die spirit; for humans, can only take one and, often judge the situation, and always finding new cheese, even if the experience of failure, occasionally decadent, also often encourage yourself, stand up immediately, move on.
Life is changing, in the days before going live, we also should be changed, not hesitate to move forward in situ." If you don't change, you will be eliminated. Towards a new direction, you'll find out new cheese. When you move beyond your fear, you feel free. The fastest way to change their own, is to laugh at your stupidity.
After reading this book 'deep feeling in fact this book is very simple. Who Moved My Cheese? Just teaching people to accept or fear change' change 'in the old cheese before modification' awareness of the existence of new cheese 'and in a timely manner to find' truth is simple 'I'm afraid of change' for future changes always appears no fitness from 'is not so fear,' we have to overcome our fear, 'this is the most important' when you be fearless' you do 'I felt' when you move beyond your fear you would feel at ease 'it depends on whether you believe what you believe change on you is bad' is not willing to go as soon as possible to find him 'change could surprise you' or 'you believe...

Blogger Review
I once read quickly, do not seek deep solution, quantity, think that as long as the "having read more than ten thousand books", can "write if god".
"Rework" is a short book, but I'm not going to read. In fact, the more short book, more need to taste slowly, because most of it is not in the book, in yourself, in the brain. Think of "C programming language", "programming pearls", I think, for this reason, needless to say.
"Rework", from the directory, I think includes do one thing (not just do a company) all the periods. This morning, read the 2 chapter, benefit.
This book is actually a very simple truth, and I think the key to all success, is: The truth is absolute thousands on thousands of, most of, or is later generations interpret out of context. "Failure is the mother of success." I think everyone for having heard it many times. But in fact, just need to understand,, under what circumstances, failure is the mother of success. Perhaps, you need to extract successful gene from the successful experience of their own, continue to the next. But from your failures in the next time, "not" do. What more, “ freedom degree”.
"Company bigger and more stick"? Actually think carefully, although "there is no diamond, which just porcelain live", but not everyone's job is porcelain live? If not, it is not everyone needs a diamond.
How do I know oneself is it right? Porcelain live? You don't need to know, here's the truth, is not absolute, only relative. But you must know, and to stick to, is that line. Each company, should clearly know what is essential to do their own thing, this "line" is not lacking, with it, you know, if you want to do is a SNS, group purchase and games on how to make money, not your primary task. "Friend" is a prerequisite of awareness.
"Friends" have, but now is not a good time? Not so much money? Do not so "ambitious"? You are now looking for excuses. "Good time" never comes, no excuse, every day is a perfect time to. "Money"? Think about it, maybe you don't need so much money. Jason Fried Rework. "Magnificent"? Do you think the world so many great companies are so "ambitious"? Is not a "garage idea"?
Well, you begin to do, try for a year, two years, ten years... This, you have to go to an extreme: you always stop in the so-called "Venture Company" state. This state is a curse, because it tells the people inside, do not need to worry, do not need to consider too much profit, because I was in the "start-up". Lying in start-ups, long-term, let a company idle.
  See here, you are found more intense a fact. That is, continue to grow in our society, is not a new skills, new ideas, but how to grasp the "degree" to the idea, let it biased towards any side is not excessive, grow on various ideas and decisions on their own grasp, eventually lead to your success, success experience, is the "degree" of the grasp. Mr. Li Jiacheng's "Zhizhi" encourage each other, its meaning, is here

For those mediocre performance, how to realize the leap from good to great? Is it right? Excellent enterprises have special "excellence" temperament "? The bottleneck of the development is it right? Is it really so hard to break.
   To solve this problem, Collins and his team took 5 years, reading and systematically sorted out 6000 articles, recorded more than 2000 pages of exclusive content, to create computer data of 384000000 bytes, collection of 28 companies over the past 50 years, all the even earlier, Good to Great. qualitative and quantitative analysis of large range that how to make the company, up from good to great and amazing.
   Collins found, from good to excellent, with the industry in the tide of it doesn't matter whether, in fact, even a engaged in traditional industries, even if it is initially unknown to the public, it may also excellence. Collins put forward a series of ideas, "as long as the one adopted and conscientiously, almost all companies can greatly improve its operating conditions, and may even become Excellent Companies".
   In 5 years, Collins and his strong research team conducted a large-scale study, "fortune" magazine since 1965 annual ranking of the top 500 in each company (more than 1400) were studied. The results shocked -- only 11 companies achieved from the outstanding performance to excellence performance across, including Gillette, Kimberly Clark, Wells Fargo, Philip Morris company, in 15 years, the average cumulative stock return, is 6.9 times the stock market (and the large company such as GE can be known to all the world only 2.8 times), that is to say, if you in 1965 a mutual fund to the company's investment of $1, by 2000, this stock earnings will grow 471 times, and general market stock funds grew by only 56 times. These implementations across the company in what aspects than those of stars, such as Intel, Coca Cola, enterprise performance is more excellent?
   Collins will be the 11 companies and the implementation to span across the company, but were not lasting, and failed to achieve, analysis of inherent mechanism of the cross. Because from good to excellent answer "no time, geographical restrictions, generally applicable to any institution. "
   ● from outside the company, be as sacred celebrities do leadership, tend to the negative effect to the company from good to great leap process.
   ● managers salary structure with promoting corporate performance.
   ● leaps and bounds of the companies in the development of a long-term strategic spend time not more than other companies.
   ● To promote the technology and technological change, in fact do not stimulate the good-to-great across.
   ● mergers and acquisitions in promoting the company across the process did not play any role.
   ● implementation spans the company does not deliberately creating change, incentive employee or create a company unanimously atmosphere. Good to Great.
   ● Across the revolutionary, not necessarily the revolutionary process.
   ● implementation spans the company is engaged in is not the industry boom, some even exit bad industry.
   ● excellence is not the environment, to a great extent, it is a deliberate decision results.

Blogger Review
  "Life is difficult" - "the road less traveled"
    Later?
    There is no reason to believe that the stock market position will get well soon.
    There's no reason for people to think that can take the Tsinghua people admitted to have no reason to think around can buy a house before the age of 25, had heard of such a man?
   Later?
   See each section number directly give people the workplace encounter the ceiling will no longer motivated people because of divorce and direct  peripheral Dutch act had heard of such a man?
  Later?
  Those who can not face the reality and easily struck down by the reality person will be forgotten, who was the last person? And the book friends is a happy thing, but there are various classification.
  Can't remember a single word or after I finish reading a book, but the entire content has influence character by environment change people read; and some even though the wonderful, but closed the book, often only remember one sentence.
  After reading "from good to excellent" has been for several months, the look is about company's book, in fact more is about people.
  After seeing those brilliant expositions, chart, I only remember this sentence: "face the cruel reality, but never lose faith" very simple words, from the time of "Storck Dell paradox" of the Vietnam War, the United States admiral Stoker Day by the Vietcong prisoner, he is the most senior officer captured, and held the longest, from 1965 to 1973. Seen the movie "first blood" people know, the Vietnamese is the hated us, so they will use all means of torture. In this 8 years, too many to count the inmates dead, missing, mental breakdown, but Stockdale ultimately to survive, although it was crippled for life. Later someone came to interview him, asked him exactly how to insist on down, "is very simple." Stockdale said: "I do not lose confidence from the end of the story. I never doubted I could come out, and will eventually succeed." "So those who failed to come out of the man, what are these people?" Someone asked. "This simple, those who are optimists." Storck Dell replied, surprised to see other people, so he explains: "this and I just said is not a contradiction. Good to Great. Optimists say, Christmas day we can go back, the results for Christmas, and they said, we will go back before Easter, the Easter is too, before they said we could go back to Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving and results, then christmas. Until finally, they died of depression."
  Finally Stockdale said: "this is a very important lesson. You can't take the beliefs and principles of belief is confused, you will success -- you can never lose -- and the principle is, you must be prepared to face the cruel reality of preparation, no matter what they are." Storck Dell's last known as "Storck Dell paradox".
  Set foot in a small wooden bridge between the blind optimism and improperly belittle oneself, is left to the last man. Have the courage to face the cruel reality, and the determination to overcome these difficulties, is the real "optimistic".
  In my meditation: when facing the cruel reality, but never lose faith.
